SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless - Lightweight Wireless Gaming Mouse - 18000 CPI -- TrueMove Air Optical Sensor - Ultra-Lightweight Water Resistant Design – 180+ Hour Battery Life

The mouse itself is amazing. Good fit (and I have giant hands), there is a lot of buttons on it. Very easy to customize with the steelseries app. It did break after a year, but Steelseries sent me a replacement for free. The process was easy to do. And my new mouse is going strong, so it was probably just a fluke. It works wired and wireless, glides very well and the battery life is pretty darn amazing on it. One of the best mouse I've ever had

I am an avid player of First Person Shooter games (FPS) and as such I demand a low weight, high precision input device. The Aerox 5 fits the bill for me. I am coming from a pedigree of Basic Packard Bell (1990s) -> Microsoft Explorer -> Razer Deathadder -> G502 -> Glorious Model D Wireless -> Aerox 5. While I really enjoyed the Glorious Model D, I immediately missed the extra buttons from my G502. I adjusted to the reduction in mouse buttons by grabbing a foot pedal for PTT voice comms (similar pedal: https://amzn.to/3VwdEuD) which turned out to be an amazing upgrade. The Model D only lasted a few months before the scroll wheel malfunctioned. The wheel would randomly scroll causing me to weapon switch during intense left-click firefights. The right click mouse button also started sticking. So, looking for an upgrade, I stumbled upon the Aerox 5. The things that immediately drew me to the Aerox 5 were the 9 programmable buttons. I love that the mouse is an ultra light, weighing only slightly more than the Model D I was upgrading from. The mouse is pretty much perfect in every way, however there are a couple of annoying things I will point out here: 1. The dongle is USB-C. I do not have a USB-C port in my PC, so I was running the dongle with a long USB-A -> USB-C connection... until I stumbled upon the direct plug adapter (2nd pic). You can get one of those here https://amzn.to/3GmkoH6. I wish they had included one with the mouse. 2. The mouse profiles in the SteelSeries GG software don't reliably automatically switch. I have different profiles set up for each of my games with different button bindings and while the profile normally switches just fine, it's not 100% reliable. Easy to fix. I would recommend just having the 1 default profile and setting the extra mouse buttons to the NUMPAD keys and then change your key bindings in game accordingly. That way you don't have to mess with profile switching. That's how I'll be setting it up once I reformat and lose these profiles. 3. There is no DPI indicator light on the mouse that I can tell. 4. The battery life is not the greatest but more than adequate. It'll last 2 or 3 days before needing a charge. I normally just connect it back up when I'm done playing and never really notice it. All in all, a great mouse and I highly recommend it. If you found this review helpful, please consider using my link to purchase yours. https://amzn.to/3WQZg0U

This mouse is so amazing I can not express my feelings enough how good it is. At first I thought it is on the large size (which is a bit) but I am also sort of big guy, so fits my hand perfectly. It is ultra light weight. with the mouse pad from SteelSeries also it is perfect match. The app is very straight forward to configure the mouse and speed scenarios, during the gaming and other usage you can easily change with one click, super easy. Now the downsides: Battery life is quiet short comparet to office type wireless mouses, heavy gaming like 10 hours a day lasted me 3 days, approx 30 hours :). Using it cable plugged actually didnt affect the steering too much, so most of the time using cable attached and for my friends I purchased 2 more non wireless version of this. Not sure if it is downside but since it is so lightweight, when you try to click side button which is up/down direction you can not hold the mouse stable, it moves, so lets say you are playing a shooter game, scope is open and want to use down button on the side, there is no way you will stay on target and press the down button at the same time. Over all, I am very happy with it, fits my hand perfectly, speed variations and smoothness is amazing, high quality with matching RGB with my SteelSeries keyboard, go for it...

Die SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless ist eine tolle Gaming-Maus mit präziser Steuerung und leichtem Design. Sie liegt gut in der Hand und die Wireless-Verbindung ist stabil. Allerdings finde ich den Preis ziemlich hoch. Wer bereit ist, mehr zu investieren, bekommt eine wirklich hochwertige Maus.

Es muy buen mause pero.. Este modelo tiene muchas fallas en la rueda del ratón, sube y baja si tratas de moverla por lo visto es cuestión de fabrica.
